The saxophone and it’s keys look, feel, and sound good. Buying this was a huge upgrade for me: the ST-110 plays louder than my previous Stagg model, as well as having all the usual benefits of a new sax, such as fresh pads and unblemished lacquer. Overall this model feels really good to play. Additionally, I find that the included case is perfect for my needs, hitting the sweet spot between size and storage space. The only issue I encountered with this sax was that the included pull-through was too big for the instrument, which led my to buy a new one (though I am sure I would’ve gotten a replacement had I asked for it).
